1. Executive summary
Campaspe Shire Council is a vibrant rural community in northern Victoria comprising many townships such as Echuca, Kyabram, Rochester, Lockington, Gunbower, Rushworth, Stanhope, Girgarre, Toolleen and Tongala. The Shire is located at the heart of one of the richest and most diverse agriculture and food processing regions in Victoria. The Shire is best known for its history, natural assets and relationship with Australia’s iconic Murray River, which winds along the northern boundary of the Shire. The unique mix of great weather, culture, food and wine, natural assets and events attracts increasing numbers of visitors and residents each year. The Campaspe Shire Council is recognised as a thriving community, with many opportunities for growth and prosperity.
The Shire is home to a large number of diverse events that take place across the municipality annually. Council appreciates the importance of tourism and events in driving economic activity and enhancing community wellbeing and interaction. Events strengthen social cohesion and community pride through participation and involvement.
The suite of events ranges from small community events for 100 people through to iconic events boasting over 40,000 attendees including interstate and international visitors. Centrally located between Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide, Campaspe’s geographic location is ideal for attracting state and national events.
Event Strategy Vision - Continue to support Campaspe’s diverse range of events, creating a vibrant events calendar that contributes to both economic growth and social cohesion, whilst developing capacity to attract new events.
Vision Elements
Issue Date: May 2019 56 Page 2 Campaspe Shire Council Meeting Attachments 21 May 2019 Event Strategy 2019 - 2024
The total value of revenue generated by tourism in Campaspe is estimated to be $182.69 million. The tourism sector contributes around 1,044 jobs, representing 6.5% of total employment. The tourism industry contributes $46.949 million to wages and salaries, 4.6% of the total amount. Recent Tourism Research Australia data (YE Sep 18) shows that Echuca Moama received 797,000 domestic overnight visitors, up 15% on the previous year. Visitors spent over 2 million nights in the region, up by 6.6% on year ending September 17. Holidaying, at 54.6%, was the largest category for visitation to the region, followed by ‘visiting friends and relatives’ (VFR).
Echuca Moama alone boasts over 182 accommodation properties totalling over 4,800 beds and sleeping over 9,000 visitors, ensuring Campaspe is well resourced to host large scale events.
Campaspe Shire Council Plan 2017-2021 sets the strategic direction of Council. To strengthen the economic environment, Council has committed to developing initiatives that increase tourism numbers, economic spend and length of stay by visitors. Retaining, expanding and attracting events are key opportunities for Council to deliver these priorities.
Relevant strategic objectives and strategies in the Council Plan which relate to Events are as follows;
STRONG AND ENGAGED COMMUNITIES

Issue Date: May 2019 57 Page 3 Campaspe Shire Council Meeting Attachments 21 May 2019 Event Strategy 2019 - 2024
Campaspe’s Economic Development Strategy 2014-2019 also identifies Tourism (Item 5.2) as a priority industry sector with a focus on two areas;
Diversification of tourism product;
Strong destination brand marketing.
The role of the Campaspe Shire’s Tourism Development Officer (TDO) is to assist with the development and diversification of tourism product. The TDO works closely with community groups, Echuca Moama and District Tourism Association (hereafter known as EMDTA), Murray River Council and other government agencies.
Campaspe Shire have two service level agreements in place with EMDTA to deliver destination marketing and visitor services for the whole of the Campaspe Shire. In 2018/2019 the budget allocation for the marketing agreement was $94,472 plus GST and $249,272 plus GST for visitor servicing. If the destination ‘brand’ is well known and front of mind for consumers then this has an impact on the number of visitors to the region and creates greater opportunity to run events.
Events drive tourism which support accommodation, retail and hospitality businesses locally and provide a showcase opportunity for new customers and investment.
The inaugural Campaspe Event strategy concluded in 2014 and an internal review commenced in 2018. The review included a desktop analysis, a SWOT assessment and consultation with event organisers and key stakeholders.
Council has considered the current environment relating to events as outlined in the Events: Background, Issues and Opportunities Paper (Appendix A). This Events Strategy looks at ways to address matters raised in that paper.
Whilst the landscape for events has change significantly since 2012, the principles pertaining to event support remain relevant and as a result, the majority of the original principles have been retained.
The seven revised principles are listed below:
# Event Principles
1 Ensure Campaspe Shire retains a strong reputation as an event destination through a robust portfolio of diverse events 2 Actively grow the events calendar/portfolio
3 Maximise economic & social returns from events
4 Assist event organisers to understand compliance requirements and costs
5 Provide clear, timely and transparent funding streams for events
6 Improve recognition of Council’s support for events
7 Encourage event organisers to collaborate with key stakeholders/partners to ensure local opportunities are maximised and greater publicity is enhanced
Issue Date: May 2019 58 Page 4 Campaspe Shire Council Meeting Attachments 21 May 2019 Event Strategy 2019 - 2024
Council has established key outcomes for each of these priorities. This strategy outlines the actions necessary to achieve these outcomes. Adoption of the strategy and a commitment to the delivery of the actions identified will ensure that Campaspe Shire Council continues to drive both social and economic benefits from events across the entire municipality.
This strategy ensures that Council considers its involvement in supporting event organisers to meet their compliance/legislative requirements, the funding of events, encouraging event growth/diversification and the attraction of new events.
A review of the event funding framework and matrix has been a critical component of this strategy to ensure that Council can cater for all types of events and funding for the same. The Strategy highlights the need to actively grow the events calendar/portfolio. The revised event funding categories are:
Issue Date: May 2019 59 Page 5 Campaspe Shire Council Meeting Attachments 21 May 2019 Event Strategy 2019 - 2024
2. Background
2.1 Purpose and Aims
The purpose is to provide an updated Events Strategy for the Campaspe Shire Council that acknowledges how events can contribute to the continued wellbeing of the shire’s economic base, its community, culture and environment.
This strategy guides Council’s support for events and outlines how this can be achieved. The strategy also provides a framework that ensures events within the municipality are encouraged to grow and continue to be of benefit to the community and broader region. This strategy has been developed with Council’s Council Plan objectives and key themes in mind. These are:
Strong and Engaged Communities
Resilient Economy
Healthy Environment
Balanced Services and Infrastructure
Responsible Management.
2.2 Review of 2012-2014 Event Strategy
Campaspe’s inaugural Events Strategy was endorsed in 2012. It identified eight priority areas which were:
Growing the Shire of Campaspe’s events portfolio
Maximising economic returns from events
Maximising social returns from events
Providing event organisers with clear understanding of event compliance requirements
Providing clear and transparent funding streams for events
Improving recognition of Council’s support for events
Improving governance frameworks around events.
Key outcomes from this strategy:
A critical action from the strategy was the introduction of a full time Event Support Officer. The position was introduced in 2014 to help streamline the event application process and act as a conduit between Council officers and event organisers. The process and relationships that have been formed as a result of the position have been very positive for Council and have enhanced relationships with event organisers;
The introduction of the Event Support Officer position has also enabled Campaspe to have a greater understanding of all of the events that occur across the municipality and to assist organisers to navigate the, often overwhelming, event application process. Feedback has confirmed that event organisers appreciate this on ground support;
Issue Date: May 2019 60 Page 6 Campaspe Shire Council Meeting Attachments 21 May 2019 Event Strategy 2019 - 2024
Introduction of funding guidelines and criteria to help event organisers understand funding available with Community Grants and multi-year agreements. The introduction of multi-year funding agreements has demonstrated Councils commitment to the ongoing growth of the event;
Support for key events to help assist growth and provide a higher quality offering for event patrons through Council services;
Increased promotion of events through Councils Communications Team (including social media, updated website, online calendar) and via the Economic Development eNews;
Event Information Sessions for event committees, targeting compliance changes and new opportunities.
An update on these outcomes is listed in the Events - Background, Issues & Opportunities Paper in Appendix A.
While the landscape for events has changed significantly since 2012, the essence of the priorities and principles are still relevant and as a result the basis of the principles have been retained in the current strategy.
2.3 Approach
The Event Support Officer commenced an internal review of Event Strategy (2012-2014) in May 2018. A desktop review and scorecard of the original strategy was conducted and presented to Council to seek its input and support. The next step was consultation with key stakeholders, internal and external, and event committees.
Internally, consultation was held with departments that support events in order to gain a better understanding of requirements and opportunities. These departments are listed below:
Recreation and Open Spaces
Parks & Gardens
Road Services - Traffic Management
Waste Management
The aim of the consultation was to undertake a SWOT analysis and gain an understanding of organisations event priorities as well as building partnerships required for the successful implementation of this strategy.
External consultation, either via phone or face to face meetings, was undertaken with the following stakeholder organisations:
State Government departments:
- Visit Victoria
- Regional Development Victoria

3. Overview of Events in Campaspe
Campaspe Shire host a large number of diverse events each year ranging from small community events with localised appeal, through to major and iconic events attracting between 3,000 – 10,000 people. A few of these events may attract in excess of 10,000 visitors from interstate, intra-state and internationally. Some are one-off events while others are held annually. The make-up of an event is individualised with some events taking place over a number of days on public land, while others may be held on an afternoon in a community hall.
The current portfolio of events within Campaspe boasts in excess of 140 events spread across the calendar year, most of which are recurring events and are categorised into the following event types:
Category Definition
Regional This category dictates events that have strategic regional importance beyond the borders of the Campaspe Shire.
Iconic The focus of Council event funding an “Iconic Events” category is about growth, whether through destination marketing thereby creating better destination awareness, or increase in occupancy nights and generating increased spend, yield and economic benefit to the Shire.
Major These events include tourism, business and sporting with an economic benefit focus. They include annual and “one off” or untested events that have potential to develop. These events also target niche markets and may include large sporting events.
Minor These events include tourism, business and sporting with an economic benefit focus. These events include annual and “one off” or untested events that have potential to develop. These events also target niche markets and may include sporting events. Annual events in this category need to be monitored and mentored to develop into the Major Events Category.
Community There are a number of events funded under the Community Grants Program that clearly sit within the “Community / Social Event” classification. There should not be an expectation that these events will have an economic focus. It is important to recognise that community / social events are important to community wellbeing, participation and pride.
Deficiencies in the event funding framework have been identified including the addition of an ‘Event Attraction’ category and the recognition of in-kind support, cementing the requirement for a revised matrix.
Issue Date: May 2019 63 Page 9 Campaspe Shire Council Meeting Attachments 21 May 2019 Event Strategy 2019 - 2024
Opportunities to create or grow events have been identified as a way of driving social and economic benefit. Successful events are those which meet the objectives of the community or businesses while also meeting the demands of the consumer, whether they are targeted locally or through visitation.
All events are created to fill a need. Events that fill the identified ‘need’ and also meet the demands of the target audience have a potential to grow. These events will generally be innovative, have broad or mass appeal, align with the destination brand, and components that fit the values of the community and the marketplace.
For events held in Echuca Moama, a strength and unique opportunity, is the ability to work with both Campaspe and Murray River Councils. This also extends to state level, with funding available from both government agencies, Visit Victoria and Destination NSW.
In 2018, Murray River Council engaged a sports marketing company to conduct an audit of its event facilities, accommodation capability, transport infrastructure etc. The capability report then allows this company to pitch for events for Murray River Council to consider hosting. Each event comes with a hosting fee and a commission payment to the company. It is anticipated that the adoption of this program will have a significant impact in Echuca Moama through the introduction of a variety of new events to the annual calendar.
EMDTA plays an important role in the event space, often being the first point of contact for event organisers, particularly events that are being organised by groups from outside the local area. EMDTA staff can assist with venue selection, accommodation requirements, attractions/tour bookings and event ticketing. Visitors may access these services online (website or email) or in person (phone or face to face).
EMDTA, together with the financial support of Echuca Moama Accommodation Association (EMAA), are seeking to develop a role within events. The objectives/priorities of the role are yet to be finalised.
3.1 Value of events to Campaspe
Events are strategically used to bring ‘new’ money into regions and showcase the destination to potential visitors. Events influence consumer behaviour and can impact significantly on the economic development of communities. Events can also have a significant impact on community wellbeing and social cohesion of a community through social engagement.
Local, state and federal governments embrace events for their potential to drive economic return and activity, strengthen and maintain a destination’s unique brand, drive renewal/streetscape enhancement works and to encourage event and tourism infrastructure development. This is one of the major reasons for the increase in public sector support for event based development strategies currently apparent in Australia.
There has been significant growth in the number of events being staged in tourism destinations across Australia and internationally. Visit Victoria identifies events as one of the key ways to move people in and around the state, whether they be interstate, intrastate or international visitors.
Issue Date: May 2019 64 Page 10 Campaspe Shire Council Meeting Attachments 21 May 2019 Event Strategy 2019 - 2024
One of Visit Victoria’s 2025 goals is ‘Maximising the Benefits of Events’ within the Victorian Visitor Economy Strategy Action Plan. Visit Victoria acknowledge that the advantages of bringing tourism and events together are:
Enhanced skills and knowledge;
Diversification;
Access to more customers;
Stronger strategic partnerships across sectors;
Shared resources;
United vision.
One of the actions identified under ‘Maximising the Benefits of Events’ is to develop a program of events in Melbourne and regional Victoria that covers sporting, business, artistic and cultural activities throughout the year, and to ensure communities are maximising the flow on benefits from the events.
The latest Tourism Research Australia data indicates that the ‘Visiting Friends and Relatives Market’ (VFR) accounts for 28.1% of visitation in our region. (Source: National Visitor Survey YE Sep 18, Tourism Research Australia) This is more prevalent when considering events, therefore the opportunity exists to market events to locals and encourage visitation of friends and relatives thus encouraging growth in attendance numbers.
3.2 Economic Impacts of Events
Council annually conducts event evaluations at a variety of events in order to understand the economic benefit to our local economy.
The seven events evaluated in 2018 indicated a total direct economic input of over $29 million. Further economic modelling indicates that these seven events contribute to a direct increase in jobs in the order of 169 additional jobs* and $6.246 million more in wages and salaries, and a boost in value-added** of $9.985 million.
*Increase in jobs is anticipated to be part-time or casual positions given the short term nature of events.
**Value Added represents the marginal economic value that is added by each industry sector in a defined region.

3.3 Social Impacts of Events
The positive social impacts of events include social connection and cohesion through participation and shared interests, community building through participation and shared values. Recent data shows that 87% of Campaspe’s events are organised by local committee groups, engaging residents in a volunteer capacity to help run and co-ordinate events annually. Most committee members are not paid for their time and participation, however the reward of working together with a group of people on an event satisfies them to continue to commit.
Events have the ability to build communities; provide entertainment and social opportunities; build community capacity and local leadership; increase civic pride and a sense of place for the resident population, all of which are less tangible than the economic impacts but no less important.
3.4 Opportunities, Challenges and Trends
Events within Campaspe Shire face many challenges and opportunities resulting from internal and external pressures. The following table outlines an overview of issues and opportunities arising from the consultation. Some of the key challenges and an opportunities raised from the SWOT analysis are:
Challenges Opportunities
Volunteer Burn Out - 86.7% of Campaspe’s Privately Owned Events - Over the past five years events are planned and coordinated by local Council has seen an increase in privately owned volunteers as part of a committee. As events (and events.

The for the volunteers to manage. Riverboats Music Festival, Massive Murray Paddle, Black Swan Race and the Pop & Pour Festival are all examples of successful privately owned events.
Outsource Roles - There are a number of committees who have identified skill shortages and have chosen to outsource these roles. Key roles that are being outsourced currently in Campaspe are administration, sponsorship/corporate, marketing, music co-ordination and social media.

4. Event Principles
Seven principles have been identified and aim to achieve the strategic objectives of both the Council Plan and the Economic Development Strategy:
# Event Principles
1 Ensure Campaspe Shire retains a strong reputation as an event destination through a robust portfolio of diverse events. 2 Actively grow the events calendar/portfolio;
3 Maximise economic & social returns from events;
4 Assist event organisers to understand compliance requirements and costs;
5 Provide clear, timely and transparent funding streams for events;
6 Improve recognition of Council’s support for events;
7 Encourage event organisers to collaborate with key stakeholders/partners to ensure local opportunities are maximised and greater publicity is generated.
This strategy outlines each principle in detail, including desired targets and recommended actions to enable Council to achieve these priorities.
Issue Date: May 2019 69 Page 15 Campaspe Shire Council Meeting Attachments 21 May 2019 Event Strategy 2019 - 2024
4.1 Event Principle 1 - Ensure Campaspe Shire retains a strong reputation as an event destination through a robust portfolio of diverse events
Campaspe Shire Council annually hosts approximately 140 events across the municipality, and this strategy recognises that Council’s role is not just about increasing the number and type of events, but also retaining the current portfolio of events by recognising events as assets.
It is important to the long-term retention and sustainability of each event hosted within Campaspe that event organisers feel valued and supported. Council recognises that some events are mobile and event organisers could consider relocating to another region if it is perceived the opportunity and/or incentives are more beneficial.
Compliance obligations are constantly evolving, in particular OH&S and Risk & Emergency Management. Given that 87% of our events are organised by committees, Council plays an important role in providing support for our volunteer event organisers, to provide the tools to conduct events in a safe environment and ensuring that there is no exposure to litigation.
Councils’ event application process and requirements should be as user friendly as possible to ensure that event committees aren’t overwhelmed by the process. This is vital to the ongoing sustainability of events.
Priorities:
. Proactively engage with event organisers to provide assistance and support;
. Assist events to grow and look for new opportunities;
. Promote Campaspe as a high quality event destination to event organisers, locals and Government agencies.

4.2 Event Principle 2 - Actively grow the events calendar/portfolio
Whilst Campaspe Shire Council recognise the importance of maintaining the current portfolio of events and the associated economic and community benefits, it recognises the importance of growing and evolving the events portfolio.
Destinations require new and/or refreshed products to maintain and grow visitation. New tourism products include events. Event revitalisation and diversification is also essential. It is also important to ensure that locals have access to entertainment and activities locally.
Aside from civic events, Campaspe Shire staff do not conduct any events. Given the economic and social impacts that events have locally, it is important for Council to lead the way in sourcing new event opportunities for our region. Historically Council officers have worked with event groups once a location has been determined. It is recognised that Council should be more proactive in the event attraction space to ensure a strong and diverse events calendar that delivers benefit across the municipality is retained and developed.
Council has the opportunity to lead in two areas:
Growing current events portfolio and diversity;
Attracting new events.
The need for current events to grow refers to both capacity and diversification. In some instances events can increase attendance numbers year on year through improved marketing and/or by refining the offering. In other cases, events may have reached attendance capacity, but still need to evolve to remain attractive to a target market.
Campaspe has a strong opportunity to expand its events portfolio by attracting new events to the region and targeting soft periods that complement our existing events calendar.
A strength for events held in Echuca is the opportunity to partner with Murray River Councils and leverage support from Visit Victoria and Destination NSW. Southern 80 and Riverboats Music Festival are currently good examples of this. Events also have the ability to work with EMDTA which can deliver visitor servicing support and tailored event packaging to personalise the proposition.
Events are highly sought after for their potential to drive added local economic activity and as such securing a new event can be competitive. There are a number of factors that go into choosing an event destination and Council support, whether it is cash or in-kind support, can be a critical element in the decision making process. Event attraction requires a designated budget and staff resourcing to incentivise events and facilitate bids/proposals.
Echuca Moama caters well for small to medium size business conference market, however it is limited locally to venues which cater for up to 320 people seated cabaret style. A high quality venue that could cater for over 350 people would create a great opportunity to expand the business/conference market and also attract large weddings.
Targeting events that are low impact and optimise current assets are seen as a priority. For example, Campaspe boasts a range of high profile locations for motoring ‘show and shine’ events. These events are often self-sufficient, high yield and assist with the dispersal of visitors across the region.
Issue Date: May 2019 72 Page 18 Campaspe Shire Council Meeting Attachments 21 May 2019 Event Strategy 2019 - 2024
The great range of available sporting facilities affords Campaspe the opportunity to further explore relevant large scale sporting events. Council facilities need to be flexible areas allowing for events to prosper while also fit for purpose for community use. In partnership with the Campaspe Shire Council Recreation Team, a capacity audit is recommended to be undertaken to assess the capability of sporting assets and infrastructure to identify the type of events these are capable of hosting. The report would need to consider any potential infrastructure gaps. In some instances the facility may not have the supporting infrastructure for a particular event however it may be possible to secure funding to finance the upgrade to allow future event/s to occur.
Similar to Murray River Council, Campaspe Shire could consider engaging a professional body to facilitate the audit and event bidding process.
Campaspe is developing an Echuca Creative Arts Space Plan to guide activation of the Echuca Arts Precinct, which is part of the strategy for the Echuca Port Precinct. Once complete this will be a space which events can utilise and activate. The site consists of the Foundry Arts Space, the Old Murray Hotel, the Old Brothel and adjoining open space.
While many of Campaspe’s visitors self-drive, public transport connectivity is a major factor when events are considering a new destination. Due to limited public transport options into and around the region, there are many events where Campaspe fails to meet the organiser’s criteria. Examples include the regional White Night program and potential events that could suit the Elmore Events Centre. While the Elmore Event Centre can organise private bus services for patrons it could not rely on the current public transport services however.
It is important to recognise that while events provide many benefits to the shire, event support takes a significant amount of resourcing and is at times opportunistic. Council’s internal workloads are impacted by an increase in events and this can be challenging for staff.
Key Outcomes:
. Proactively partner with Murray River Council and EMDTA to develop and attract events that compliment and expand the existing events calendar;
. Ensure Campaspe is recognised by the market as a leading destination for events with an organisation that is ‘Open for Business;’
. Create flexible spaces and infrastructure that allows for events to prosper while co-existing for community use;
. Focus on low impact/high yield events such as motoring concourse, weddings, business and sports.

4.3 Event Principle 3 - Maximise economic & social returns from events
Events help enhance our community, both economically and socially. They allow visitors to explore and enjoy our region, while creating entertainment opportunities and a sense of place and pride for our residents.
Events provide an opportunity to build destination brand awareness. An example of this is the Riverboats Music Festival. Held annually in February, this award winning festival increases awareness of Echuca- Moama. Latest research shows that 8% of visitors to the festival had not visited Echuca for over 5 years, while 5% had never been to the area.
Extending visitors length of stay results in an increase of economic spend and the opportunity to further engage with the consumer. The Echuca-Moama Winter Blues Festival began 20 years ago as a Sunday afternoon event, and with strategic planning this event has grown into a four night, three day event injecting an estimated $7.2 million into the local economy.
Some social events have the ability to evolve into events that can derive an economic return. The Girgarre Moosic Muster is an example of how an event was established to enhance community wellbeing and cohesion which has now grown to provide significant economic return both locally and regionally.
Many community members are involved in events, whether it be volunteering, working or attending, and it is interactions such as these that help strengthen community bonds. While individual event committees may not intentionally set out to enhance wellbeing with a community, the result is that many do exactly this.
Over recent years, there have been a growing number of events undertaken in Campaspe that specifically focus on community strengthening and social recovery as a result of crisis, whether it be from natural disaster, business closures or other community loss. These events have the ability to connect communities, provide opportunities for social inclusion and build community morale.
Clustering within small towns has enhanced the development and growth of community events through the sharing of resources, including knowledge, manpower and ideas. Rushworth Events Inc is a result of this concept and now boasts a variety of events such as the Wildflower Hunt, Winter Film Festival and Spring Garden Festival.
Key Outcomes:
. An increase in economic yield achieved through higher visitor spend and longer length of stay;
. Support of the community to be connected, prosperous and resilient through events.

4.4 Event Principle 4 - Assist event organisers to understand compliance requirements and costs
Council has a role to play in ensuring events comply with relevant legislative and regulatory requirements.
The legislative and regulatory requirements are constantly evolving and the burden for event organisers is increasing. The need for risk assessments and emergency evacuation plans are examples of just a few of the requirements, Council officers may identify a gap in the skills and capacity of the event organisers and assist them through the process to ensure they achieve compliance. Council make event committees aware of new legislation requirements and assist them to achieve compliance.
Ensuring event committees comply with legislative requirements can be challenging for Council. For larger more complex events it may require intervention and/or sign off by a number of different Council departments and therefore may take longer to process. For some event organisers it can be obtaining the required information submitted to Council in a timely fashion, leaving Council with shorter processing times to assess.
The ESO role has helped to address compliance in a positive way by establishing strong relationships with event committees, providing timely information to event committees and acting as a conduit between event organisers and Council departments. The ESO assists committees through every stage of the event cycle and the event application process to ensure consistency in the relationship and support.
The Event Application Toolkit ensures that Council’s processes are mapped out clearly and concisely to assist with understanding and help people to understand the complexity of the requirements.
Key Outcomes
. Event organisers provided with simple information and tools to help them meet their obligations;
. Event Support Officer continues to support event organisers with information and assistance.
. Promotion of any changes in regulations to all event committees to ensure understanding of the changes and the impact on their requirements (e.g. Waste Wise Guide, Tobacco Laws);
. Enhancement of information accessibility (ie online forms).

4.5 Event Principle 5 - Provide clear, timely and transparent funding streams for events
Event funding is an important element for Council to achieve its objectives of maintaining and actively growing its event portfolio. The recent survey of event organisers (Appendix 1- Background Issues & Opportunities Paper) identified that 69% of event organisers had a solid understanding of the grants available and 48% found the Community Grant process easy or very easy.
Currently Council funds events specifically through:
- Community Grants Program: available for Major, Minor and Community events. In 2017/2018 Council allocated $87,520.00
- Multi-Year Memorandum of Understanding Agreement’s (MOU’s): available to Iconic & Regional events. In 2017/2018 $45,000 was allocated to five events.
- Responsive Grants. Responsive grants are only available for events if the event is scheduled after the close of one round of Community Grants and before the second the round. In 2017/2018 $10,000 of the Responsive Grant Program was allocated to 10 events.
Overview of Campaspe support received by events:
Type of support that # % Events received
Cash only 54 38.6%
Cash & Inkind support 18 12.9%
Inkind support only 29 20.7%
No Assistance 39 27.8%
TOTAL 140 100%
Campaspe Shire Council may not be the only funding source for events. Funding is obtained in a variety of ways, such as; committees own seed funds, business sponsorship (cash or in-kind) and also applying for other grants. Organisations such as the Bendigo Bank, and Clubs such as Kyabram, Rich River Golf, Moama Bowling and Echuca-Moama RSL are great supporters of local events providing funding through grant programs. In 2018, Murray River Council launched an annual Community Grants program which will benefit events in the Echuca-Moama area. In 2018/2019 grants of up to $3,000 are available from a pool of $60,000 (Two Rounds of $30,000).
Issue Date: May 2019 80 Page 26 Campaspe Shire Council Meeting Attachments 21 May 2019 Event Strategy 2019 - 2024
The ‘Event Classifications’ have been reviewed and currently do not include or refer to items such as;
- Incentives for new events;
- Events which are held in Campaspe but organised by organisations outside the municipality;
- Privately owned and/or conference events.
It is worth noting that these types of events do not fall into the Community Grant Program which creates a gap. A revised definitions of event funding structures must incorporate events which are organised by groups located outside of Campaspe Shire and those run by a commercial operator.
It is important to recognise that that the Community Grant Program should continue to be available for Campaspe’s community groups and the funding of new and/or additional events should be separately funded if organised by committees who reside outside the municipality. Many of Campaspe’s most successful events have originated through a local community group who have recognised an opportunity to attract people and that have a passion for making things happen. Council have a role to play in nurturing these opportunities and making it as easy as possible for new events to be introduced. Legends of the Mountain is a great example of a relatively new event that was initially funded through the community grants program and has evolved to be an event that is developing a strong reputation amongst car enthusiasts statewide.
It is significant that in the past, recognised events had the opportunity to apply through respective towns Community Plan Implementation Funds (for a limited period) however this resource is no longer available. If an event is identified within the new Council endorsed Place Based Plans, facilitated by the Community Engagement team, funding may be available through the plans activation funds.
Ideally for event attraction, the ESO would liaise with event organisers regarding event support packages and/or event bids and then assess the event against a matrix which considered proposed attendee numbers, duration and timing of the event whilst considering the current event calendar, accommodation requirements, economic activity/value-add opportunity etc. The ESO would then liaise with the Investment Attraction Manager, General Manager of Community & Economic Development and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to determine an appropriate support package with a projected return on investment. The final decision would be made by the CEO. Amending this process is particularly important for a quick turnaround time to be achieved. Event bidding is highly competitive and being responsive and able to commit funds at officer level will allow Council to move more quickly and increase appeal amongst event organisers. As with Responsive Grants, any funding commitments/bids would be reported to Council.
The revised event funding structure includes the following funding streams:
Issue Date: May 2019 81 Page 27 Campaspe Shire Council Meeting Attachments 21 May 2019 Event Strategy 2019 - 2024
Below is a flow chart of the application process for the two new/revised categories, Hallmark and Event Attraction. Attachment 1 includes the full Event Classification and the Criteria & Weighting for funding.
In addition to direct cash funding, Council also expends in the order of $65,000 inkind annually through the implementation in areas such as waste management, parks & gardens services, tree management works and traffic management through Temporary Road and Street Closures Policy (36). This support is not currently captured in the true value provided to Major, Minor and Community events. Council needs to ensure that this additional support is captured within its funding conditions.
It is also relevant that the inkind support is not capped at a dollar value and event organisers are unaware of the costs of this service and the impacts of any changes. Council does not have a clear framework that outlines when, to who and how inkind support is provided. It is important that this issue is addressed given the increase of compliance and regulation in regards to traffic management and OH&S. It is also important to note that Council operational budgets are confined by rate capping.

Historically inkind support has not included the use/hire of Council owned facilities. When completing this review, research found that many municipalities offer Council facilities either free, or at a reduced cost, as a tool to entice events to the region. Councils are recognised for this support within the event sponsorship agreement. Campaspe boasts a wide variety of community assets, and a streamlined procedure needs to be developed that allows the ESO to actively offer these assets as part of a sponsorship package to existing or potential event organisers, if the facility is available and the event will deliver an economic benefit to the region.
Key Outcomes
. Update event definition framework;
. Keep event organisers up to date regarding funding opportunities.

4.6 Event Principle 6 - Improve recognition of Council’s support for events
In total, Council currently contributes in excess of $200,000 of support to events, either direct cash or inkind support, however there is often limited recognition of Council’s support for events.
There is an opportunity to enhance Council’s tourism and event industry and the wider community by further highlighting Council’s contribution. In some instances this has the dual benefit of promoting Council’s support while also increasing awareness of the range of events available with the shire.
An estimated return on investment of over $29 million to the local economy can be attributed to the seven events upon which Council conducted event evaluation in 2018.
With the launch of the new Campaspe Shire Council branding and style guide, it is an opportune time to provide events with the tools and promotional assets to promote Councils involvement in events. Campaspe’s new ‘Proudly Supporting’ mesh banners have been purchased for use at events in mass volume, in particular, on crowd control barriers used for traffic management. This provides a great visual for patrons to see that Campaspe is providing this inkind service to events.
The use of technology and social media now allows for Campaspe to be interactive in the event space through welcome videos or the sharing of social media posts and hashtags.
The revitalised Council website now allows all events to add their event to the calendar, however as this is a user generated list and only includes those who register an event.
Key Outcomes:
Council will continue to promote the economic return from events;
An improved awareness of Councils contribution to events including both cash and in-kind support;
Council’s reputation will be enhanced through recognition of its contribution to events;
An increased understanding within Council, of the importance of events and the positive impact upon our economy and communities.

4.7 Event Principle 7 - Encourage event organisers to collaborate with key stakeholders/partners to ensure local opportunities are maximised and greater publicity generated.
To achieve the best outcome for the region and destination, there must be a collaborative approach to events with key stakeholders such as Murray River Council, EMDTA, Murray Regional Tourism Board and other neighbouring Councils.
EMDTA provides destination marketing and visitor servicing to all of Campaspe Shire and this encompasses events. Event committees are encouraged to utilise EMDTA and its networks/membership base to promote events. The opportunity to access EMDTA staff for local knowledge, accommodation/attraction booking service and ticketing services is encouraged by Council. However data from the event committee survey (Events Background & Issues Paper - Appendix 1) highlights that many event organisers are still unaware of the availability of these services or how to access them.
Encouraging event committee’s to utilise the EMDTA accommodation reservation service and event ticketing system, creates an opportunity for a local connection and interaction with a tourism specialist and ensures that any revenue remains local.
EMDTA can leverage the interaction to ‘upsell’ visitors to the region and potentially increasing the length of stay. The EMDTA Ambassador Program is also a useful tool for events committees to leverage off. Ambassadors can play a role roaming the event and offering information when required or EMDTA can host bus tours for events to personalise the experience and encourage visitors to explore other parts of the region, increasing their visitor footprint and economic yield.
Given the close proximity of Echuca to Moama it is paramount that Campaspe works closely with Murray River Council to ensure a seamless experience for both the event organiser and visitor. Murray River Council commenced work on a new Economic Development Strategy in 2018 and it is expected that this will be finalised in 2019. It is anticipated that tourism will be a major focus of the strategy. Murray River Council have engaged a consultancy group to undertake a review of all of their assets and infrastructure, accommodation, transport options etc to allow them to attract suitable events. Murray River Council are excited about the potential of this partnership and the events that it may deliver to the region. Echuca will naturally derive a potential benefit from this approach. Campaspe Shire could consider the potential of engaging a similar professional body as an avenue to grow the events calendar further within the region.
The revitalisation of Campaspe’s Regional Touring Map provides a tool to encourage visitors, who are ‘self drive,’ to explore the region whether it be on the way to, during or after an event. Drawcards such as the Rochester Silos, Mt Camel Wine Region and Kyabram Fauna Park encourage visitors to stay longer within our municipality.
A recent survey of business in the Echuca Port Precinct, conducted by Council (December 2018), highlighted that the majority of business concluded that events were positive for business with some stating event weekends were the best weekends of the year and that respondents would like to see more events.
Key Outcomes:
The development of clear roles and responsibilities in regards to event attraction and support in Echuca-Moama;
Develop an Echuca-Moama Events Plan in collaboration with key stakeholders;
Extended stays and exploration of the region.

5. Conclusion
This internal review of the Events Strategy 2012-2014 has involved the following steps;
1. An audit of the original strategy actions to gauge the number that have been completed and those which are ongoing or outstanding;
2. Desktop research;
3. SWOT analysis;
4. Consultation with key stakeholders and event organisers;
5. Development of an updated Event Matrix- Attachment 1.
Opportunities and challenges have been identified throughout the Background Paper, and seven key principles developed to respond to these. These principles reinforce each other to provide maximum benefit from Council’s investment in events facilitation, attraction and development.
Any good strategy should communicate how success will be measured. In this strategy, clear outcomes have been developed for each the seven priorities. Monitoring progress of each of these will provide affirmation of success of the strategy and just as importantly any shortfall in performance enabling re- adjustment of actions.
In addition to clear outcomes, the strategy also provides clear actions. These have been developed with an understanding of the need to make smart use of the existing resources, both human and financial. Some of the action/initiatives are reliant on the allocation of extra funding resources.
The actions within this plan are very achievable and collectively will place Campaspe Shire Council in an envious position as a recognised leading event destination.
Events are important assets that need to be protected and nurtured. Campaspe needs to not only retain its impressive events portfolio but expands this to continue to meet the needs of both communities and customers alike.

1. Background
1.1 Overview This paper provides an overview of the current tourism operating environment, both internal and external to Campaspe Shire Council. The purpose of this paper is to provide the context for conducting events, to enable events value and importance to be understood and to identify issues and opportunities that might be address through the Campaspe Shire Council Events Strategy. The towns of Echuca and Moama have embraced tourism over the years and their scenic location on the Murray River has been a major factor in the growth of the short stay visitor market, known by consumers as a distinct destination on the river. Data from Tourism Research Australia for period October 2017 – September 2018 reflects that Echuca Moama received a record 1.7 million visitors, an increase of 7.1% on the previous period. It also shows that visitors spend over 2.2 million nights in region, an increase of 7% on the year ending September 2017. Domestic overnight visitors to Echuca Moama increased by 15% on year ending Sept 2017. Visitors stayed on average 2.6 nights in the region. Business confidence in the region remains strong, however operators recognise that competition remains high and consumer expenditure has been impacted by higher living costs. The local tourism industry identify the opportunity for growth in events, particularly during the non-peak periods, to ensure business sustainability and to encourage new visitors to the region. Tourism has been identified as a major economic driver in the Campaspe Shire Economic Development Strategy 2014-2019. The sector not only needs to be maintained, but nurtured to encourage growth in what is a competitive market. Historically, Tourism Strategies have been focused on destination marketing. Visit Victoria, Murray Regional Tourism and Echuca Moama & District Tourism have all identified that product strength and variety, including events, are now key drivers of consumer decision making. The Victorian Visitor Economy Strategy 2016 – 2025 identifies nine priority areas, one of whish being able to maximise the benefits of events. The goal is to deliver a program of events in Melbourne and regional Victoria, that covers sporting, business, artistic and cultural activities throughout the year, and to ensure the communities are maximising the flow of benefits from these events. Murray Regional Tourism’s 2015-2020 Strategic Plan identifies ’Product Development’ as a key priority. An initiative is to facilitate the implementation of a Murray Region Events Strategy. ‘Destination Marketing’ is one of the four strategies identified within the Echuca Moama & District Tourism’s 2018/2022 Strategic Plan. Relevant priorities relating to events are: Reinforce brand through signature events, position Echuca Moama as a major player in regional events (eg attract funding and government support); Determine a strategy with Campaspe Shire and Murray River Council to fund a dedicated events position to professionalise and attract major events to the region; Determine a strategy to maximise ‘events’ and the value of ‘events’ for example the growth over time of the Winter Blues Festival to a New Orleans style international event; Increase role of VIC in ticketing major events and grow income streams (eg major festivals and community events); Develop an event attraction strategy which grows overnight stays and yield to the tourism sector, in order to tap the funding opportunities in both NSW and Victoria.
Issue Date May 2019 96 Page 1 Campaspe Shire Council Meeting Attachments 21 May 2019 Events Strategy- Background, Issues & Opportunities Paper
1.2 Review of 2012-2014 Event Strategy Campaspe’s original Events Strategy was endorsed by Council in 2012. The Strategy identified eight priorities: Ensuring the Campaspe Shire retains its portfolio of events; Growing the Shire of Campaspe’s events portfolio; Maximising economic returns from events; Maximising social returns from events; Providing event organisers with clear understanding of event compliance requirements; Providing clear and transparent funding streams for events; Improving recognition of Council’s support for events; Improving governance frameworks around events.
Of the eight priorities identified, there were 40 critical actions and 15 desired actions proposed. A full review of the actions can be found in Appendix 3 and a summary scorecard is listed below:
# of # of % of all Critical Desired Actions Actions Actions
Completed 16 3 34.5%
Ongoing 24 7 56.4%
Yet to be initiated 0 3 5.5%
No Longer Applicable 0 2 3.6%
Whilst the landscape for events has changed significantly overtime since 2012, the essence of the priorities remain relevant and as a result have been retained in the updated Strategy. A critical action from the strategy was the introduction of a full time Event Support Officer. The position was introduced in 2014 to help streamline the event application process and to be the focus contact person within Council for event organisers. The position has enabled Council to develop a greater understanding of all the events across the municipality and allowed Council to help event organisers navigate the complex application process. Feedback confirms that event organisers appreciate this on the ground support. The relationships that have been formed by the Event Support Officer have been crucial in sharing information, facilitating training opportunities and assisting event committees by providing a single point of contact.

2. Government Structure and Roles
2.1 Overview
Visit Victoria and Destination NSW work within an industry structure which includes Regional Tourism Boards. The role of the Regional Tourism Board is to set the overarching strategic direction for the tourism industry within a defined region, including production and industry development, regional marketing strategies and industry investment attraction.
Campaspe Shire Council is a stakeholder in the Murray Regional Tourism Board which encompasses 13 local government areas along the Murray River on the Victorian and NSW border.
Regional Tourism Associations (RTA) are responsible for the management and development of tourism within their sub-region’s or product group and are responsible for increasing visitation and yield through destination and key product specific marketing. Structures of RTA’s may vary within the Murray region.
Local Tourism Associations (LTA) represent local tourism businesses and focus their efforts on enhancing visitor experience and undertaking activities such as industry network, local familiarization tours and advising local government on local tourism issues.
The model for industry structure in regional Victoria is replicated below (diagram compliments of Murray Regional Tourism Board):
Campaspe Shire have two service level agreements in place with Echuca Moama and District Tourism Association (EMDTA) to deliver destination marketing and visitor servicing. Murray River Council also have a service level agreement in place with EMDTA to deliver destination marketing and visitor information services.
Visit Victoria view EMTDA as a RTA as it represents a Regional Tourism Centre, although it is reasonable to determine that it provides a hybrid role of RTA (destination marketing) and LTA roles.

2.2 Visit Victoria
Visit Victoria is the primary tourism and event’s company for the State of Victoria. It promotes Victoria domestically and internationally, leading the tourism sector in igniting and challenging visitor imaginations through compelling stories and amazing events in Melbourne and regional Victoria.
Visit Victoria competes globally in tourism marketing and event procurement (major, business and regional events) to deliver the greatest potential number of visitors to the State of Victoria and to drive the highest value possible from their stay.
Working across seven key areas, with each playing a shared role in Visit Victoria’s vision. These are:
Business Area Strategic Priority

Deliver technology and data business solutions that inspire, convert and service travellers at all stages of the visitor journey.
Regional Tourism & Proactively support the visitor-centric approach by maximising Regional Strategy Tourism Board (RTB) engagement and strategies.
Major Events Create the best major events calendar in the world that tells the Melbourne story to inspire people to travel to the State.
Melbourne Convention Be the first-choice destination for business events. Bureau
Corporate Affairs Partner with key stakeholders to amplify Visit Victoria's story.

Enhanced skills and knowledge;
Diversification;
Access to more customers;
Stronger strategic partnerships across sectors;
Shared resources;
United vision.

2.2.1 Visit Victoria Funding Opportunities
Both Visit Victoria and Tourism Australia recognise that events play a significant role in attracting visitors to a region. Regional Victoria’s annual festival, sporting and cultural calendar continues to grow from strength to strength, offering an enriching experience to visitors amplified by local heritage and warm hospitality. It is Visit Victoria’s goal to continue to build bigger and better regional events that attract intrastate, interstate and international visitation. An outline of the funding options are:
Regional Events – Visit Victoria and the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions (DJPR) seek to secure larger events for regional Victoria that generate significant economic benefits for the sate and region. This includes acquiring or developing new events or supporting the implementation of innovative growth strategies to build upon existing events. When securing a major event for a region that has international or national significance, local existing infrastructure and facilities are assessed, and in some cases Visit Victoria will focus on securing content for state government-funded projects such as new stadiums, developments and cultural institutions. When an event is not classified as a major event, then Visit Victoria reviews what funding opportunities exist to support innovative regional events that enhance the destinations attributes. Currently Visit Victoria facilitates the Regional Events Fund to support creative and sporting projects that drive strong visitation and economic returns to a region.
Regional Events and Marketing Partnership Program (REMPP) - The REMPP is a competitive program designed to support events that are identified as having the potential to drive economic and branding benefits to the host destination, region and the State. Events are categorised as:
Event Type
Significant New (one off or ongoing) events of significant scale that: Event - are exclusive to Victoria - have the capacity to attract intrastate, interstate and/ or international visitation of greater than 30% of total attendees - are of international or national significance - have the potential to develop into major events for the State. - delivers state-wide profile to a region due to the scale of the event; - is the highest class of event for the category that is being held in Victoria. Tier 1 New (one off or ongoing) events of significant scale that: - are exclusive to Victoria - have the capacity to attract intrastate and interstate visitation - are of state or national significance Established events, particularly those that have been previously funded by Tourism Victoria, will be required to detail new initiatives and demonstrate how funding will significantly increase intrastate and interstate visitation. Tier 2 New or established, preferably ongoing medium to large scale events that: - have the capacity to attract intrastate and interstate visitation - are of state or regional significance; Established events, particularly those that have been previously funded by Tourism Victoria, will be required to detail new initiatives and demonstrate how funding will significantly increase intrastate and interstate visitation.
Issue Date May 2019 100 Page 5 Campaspe Shire Council Meeting Attachments 21 May 2019 Events Strategy- Background, Issues & Opportunities Paper
Tier 3 Events that have the capacity to attract intrastate and interstate visitation; - are of regional or local significance.
- established events, particularly those that have been previously funded by Tourism Victoria, will be required to detail new initiatives and demonstrate how funding will significantly increase intrastate and interstate visitation.
Significant Sporting Events Program - Designed to assist sporting, community and event organisations to deliver sporting events in Victoria.
2.3 Destination NSW
For events that are held in Echuca Moama, Destination NSW funding may also be available. The Regional Flagship Events Program identifies and supports event in Regional NSW that have the potential to act as ‘cornerstone,’ or flagship, tourism events for their area by attracting overnight visitation and delivering long term benefits to their region. The Regional Flagship Events Program is the umbrella title which the three funds sit:
Incubator Event Fund - Offers seed funding to events in Regional NSW to support their first and second years of activity. The fund supports innovative events that demonstrate sound organisational planning, have a unique alignment with the character and culture of their local region and which can demonstrate a broad appeal likely to promote tourism and attract overnight visitation.
Flagship Event Fund - Identifies and assists the development of events that contribute to the unique character and culture of the tourism regions of NSW and can demonstrate that they attract overnight visitation. The Flagship Event Fund offers grants specifically to support marketing activities aimed at increasing visibility and attracting visitation to the event from outside its immediate area.
Event Development Fund - Supports events that have already received the maximum funding permitted through the Flagship Event Fund and can present a comprehensive strategy for future growth that includes the continued development of its tourism potential to drive overnight visitation to the event.
2.4 Murray Regional Tourism
Murray Regional Tourism (MRT) was established in November 2010 in partnership with Destination NSW, Visit Victoria and 13 local government councils in the Murray. MRT provides regional marketing, product development, industry development, advocacy and leadership.
Campaspe is located in the centre of the MRT area and therefore relates strongly to its set target markets. MRT’s vision is to welcome and inspire visitors by curating and revealing our region’s hidden wonders to deliver unique, authentic and memorable experience, creating passionate advocacy for the region.
MRT have undertaken significant work on how visitor services have changed and models for the future. Customer Profiles/personas have been developed to assist with more focused customer target marketing.
MRT’s Destination Management Plan contains target marketing information overleaf.

3. Event Landscape in Campaspe
3.1 Event Description
An event is defined as:
Something that takes place; an occurrence;
A significant occurrence or happening;
A social gathering or activity.
Events are held to create entertainment for visitors and locals, increase visitation, visitor yield and add an economic benefit to the community.
A tourism event is defined as bringing ‘new money’ into the economy, attracting outside visitation and giving recognition through its ongoing expansion and economic benefit to the destination, an event such as the Echuca Moama Winter Blues Festival would be classified as a tourism event. While the primary benefits of tourism events are economic, they often provide secondary benefits such as building community identity, creating entertainment, promoting local participation and adding vibrancy and activity into local communities.
Social or community activities are important to the well-being of communities, often bringing the community together to achieve a common goal. Events enrich communities whilst offering the opportunity to develop into a tourism product. The Girgarre Moosic Muster, initially created as a half- day event for the community is now a three-day event attracting up to 2,000 visitors to the area.
3.2 Campaspe Shire Council
Campaspe Shire hosts a large number of diverse events each year, ranging from small community events with localised appeal, through to major and iconic events attracting between 3,000 – 10,000 people. A few events attract in excess of 10,000 intra-state, interstate and international visitors. Some are one-off events while others are held annually. The make-up of an event is individualised with some taking place over a number of days on public land, while others may be held on an afternoon in a local hall. Council is committed to supporting and attracting events in a variety of ways, including:
Event Support Officer- Full Time Position
Event Funding- through Community Grant Program, Responsive Grants, Sponsorships through Multi Year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and Community Planning Funds (or now Place Based Plans)
In-kind Support for events- through items such as Waste Management providing bins, Traffic Management, organising traffic management plans and a variety of items through Parks and Gardens.
Issue Date May 2019 103 Page 8 Campaspe Shire Council Meeting Attachments 21 May 2019 Events Strategy- Background, Issues & Opportunities Paper
Below is a table outlining an overview of event support for all events in the 2017/2018 financial year:
Type of support that # of % Events received events
Cash only 54 38.6%
Cash & Inkind support 18 12.9%
Inkind support only 29 20.7%
No Assistance 39 27.8%
TOTAL 140 100%
The level of support required varies for each event.
3.3 Profile of the Competitive Market
3.3.1 Consumer Influences
There are a number of consumer influences (trends/issues) that can affect the general tourism and events industry. The following influences are relevant to the Campaspe Shire and as such the tourism industry have been impacted upon.
Influence Overview
Changing Household discretionary (travel) funds have plateaued with rising house prices Consumption and increasing living costs. Budgets are being stretched with households patterns reassessing their travel options. Holidays are still being booked however families may consider lower cost options such as camping, preparing own food, and booking less nights away.
Climate Change Climate change is the key global environmental and economic challenge having significant implications for individual communities, governments and businesses, particularly within the tourism sector which is can be reliant on the natural environment. Consumer awareness of climate change and environmental issues has increased substantially, creating greater pressure for the tourism industry to adopt more sustainable and environmentally friendly business practices and policies. Extreme heat waves have been seen to affect visitation and events.
Natural The natural environment presents challenges in any region. In the past decade environment - we have experienced a flood, drought and blue green algae blooms. If there is drought and blue an impact in our region, it is important that the visitors’ perception remains green algae positive and holiday plans remain unaltered. It has always been hard to control perceptions with the media however with social media, issues can become viral instantly. It is important to promote that the region is open for business and reassure customers.
Online services The growth of online accommodation service providers (Wotif, Trivago, booking.com) enables consumers to consider a plethora of options, comparing price and destinations, and permits them to make bookings at any time of the
Issue Date May 2019 104 Page 9 Campaspe Shire Council Meeting Attachments 21 May 2019 Events Strategy- Background, Issues & Opportunities Paper
day. The convenience and price comparisons are attractive to many consumers. Online services affect the amount of revenue accommodation properties receive with high commission feeding back into the booking service providers, many of which are national/international companies.
Change in visitor The introduction of hand held mobile devices has changed the way consumers services are accessing visitor information. The way visitors use and engage with Visitor Information Centres is changing, these centres must adapt to stay relevant. MRT are currently undertaking part two of their Visitor Transformation Project and Visitor Victoria are also completing a Visitor Servicing Transformation project.
Increasing Regional Victoria has a plethora of options for visitors which requires competition destinations to stay at the forefront of consumers’ minds. Echuca Moama are competing against other destinations within the state but also along the Murray. Destination marketing is important, as are events and new tourism products to add to the mix.
Low Cost Air Travel Low cost air travel and increased route networks between domestic and international destinations continue to make traveling more accessible to a broader range of consumers. This is an ongoing consumer influencer that continues to effect domestic travel.
With the establishment of daily Qantas flights from Bendigo to Sydney this presents a new market for this destination. It is envisaged that the daily flights may increase over time if patronage is high
Labour Market Penalty rates for casual and part-time staff on weekends and public holidays impact the local tourism sector with many retailers and cafes not opening on public holidays due to staffing costs. As a visitor town this is an ever-growing issue.
Increase in International travel continues to be affordable and appealing. International outbound travel holiday destinations such as Indonesia and Thailand remain strong due to their price proposition, as do cruise ship holidays, which include food, entertainment and all travel costs.
Consumers have an abundance of choice when it comes to deciding on their holiday destinations.
Regional Victoria is often considered an option for long weekends or short breaks given its proximity to Melbourne and other regional centres.
Collaboration Collaboration offers existing and new events within a region the opportunity to co-create to deliver bigger, better and stronger event experiences. This incentivises the visitor to travel when the experience is a culturally rich offering. In addition events have the opportunity to collaborate with nearby regions, or with local tour operators, accommodation providers and services to encourage extended length of stay through multiple-packages that provide value. This is made possible through partnerships and effective visitor servicing strategies.
Airbnb Companies such as Airbnb are changing the way consumer’s book accommodation. In our region Airbnb has challenged the accommodation industry, introducing a new accommodation style to the mix. This type of accommodation aligns with the trend of ‘live like a local,’ visitors now like to immerse themselves into the local area and often provides a cheaper price point.

4. Profile of the Tourism Industry in Campaspe Shire
4.1 Data analysis
Tourism is not recognised as a separate industry sector for statistical purposes by Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). Rather, estimates of its value and contribution are an amalgam of a range of other sectors such as retail, accommodation, cafes & restaurants, and cultural and recreational services. The Tourism sector is estimated to generate 3.7% of all revenue by businesses and organisations in Campaspe and accounts for 6.5% of all employment. (REMPLAN 2018)
Gross revenue attributed to tourism (top 4 industries):
Industry Sector % of Tourism Activity
Accommodation & Food Services 48.9%
Manufacturing 11.7%
Transport, Postal & Warehousing 11.3%
Retail Trade 11%
Employment attributable to Tourism (top 4 industries):
Industry Sector % of Tourism Activity
Accommodation & Food Services 61.9%
Retail Trade 17.8%
Transport, Postal & Warehousing 7.9%
Manufacturing 2.9%
Total value of revenue generated by tourism in Campaspe is estimated at $182.69 million.
The total number of people employed in Campaspe Shire Council area is estimated to be 16,070. The tourism sector contributes approximately to 1,044 jobs, 6.5% of total employment.
Wages and salaries estimate for Campaspe is $1,021.684 million. The tourism industry contributes $46.949 million, 4.6% of total wages and salaries.

5. Campaspe Operating Structure
5.1 Current Operating Structure
The most important action to come from the 2012-2014 Events Strategy was the introduction of a full- time Event Support Officer. The introduction of this position in 2014 has enabled Campaspe to have a greater understanding of all of the events happening across the municipality and to assist event organisers to navigate the complex application process. Feedback confirms that event organisers appreciate this on the ground support.
Key objectives for the Event Support Officer (ESO) are:
Be the key point of contact for event organisers;
Provide training support for event committees;
Promote funding opportunities;
Facilitate the attraction of new events and the growth of existing events;
Assist event organisers to understand their obligations in relation to compliance;
Manage the internal distribution of event applications and processing of same, co-ordinating with other departments;
Collate results of event evaluations and prepare reports for event organisers and Council.
Council employs a full-time Tourism Development Officer (TDO). There is a complimentary role between the ESO and the TDO in the events space.
Council dedicate officer time and budget allocation to the coordination of a number of events including:
Seniors Week
Youth Week
Civic Events such as Australia Day, citizenship ceremonies and White Ribbon Day.
Campaspe Murray Business Awards
However it should be noted that the ESO does not coordinate these events.
As a result of the 2012-2014 Event Strategy, Council created an Events Project Group to assist with event support, preparation and compliance. The following departments are involved in the group;
Community & Economic Development
Roads Services (traffic management)
Building (POPE’s & TOP’s)
Planning (land use zoning & permits)
CEO/Councillors (officiating duties)
Issue Date May 2019 109 Page 14 Campaspe Shire Council Meeting Attachments 21 May 2019 Events Strategy- Background, Issues & Opportunities Paper
Civic Events & Grants (community grants)
Environmental Health (food health and safety)
Waste Management (event waste)
Rural Access Officer (universal access)
Local Laws (event permit)
Parks & Gardens (providing event ready space/traffic management/tree management works)
Communications (website/social media/newsletters)
Open Spaces (hire of public gardens and reserves)
Customer Service (initial enquiry/casual hire of public gardens)
Investigations Officer (temporary liquor licences/fireworks)
Risk Management Officer (risk assessments)
Municipal Emergency Coordinator (emergency evacuation plans).
It is paramount that the ESO be the conduit between the event organiser and the array of Council departments an event application may require, to ensure a timely, customer first approach.
It is significant that in many instances, Council officers are enforcing a state or national legislation requirement. If new rules and/or obligations are introduced, the ESO will support the relevant Council officer in educating event committees by organising an information flyer or training session.
Council control a number of facilities that can be used for events such as basketball stadiums, recreation reserves and community halls. These facilities generally have existing use rights as places of assembly and provide best platform for groups to hold public events.
One of Echuca’s signature location for events, the Aquatic Reserve, was initially part of the natural flood course of the Murray River that had a levee bank constructed in 1970’s to allow for the existing public open space to be established as a more highly developed and maintained space. Whilst initially developed as a passive open space, the location, amenity and available space has seen a significant increase in its use for private, community and commercial events. This includes large community events such as a New Year’s Eve event and the award winning Riverboats Music Festival, as well as smaller events like weddings and car show n shines.
Council is developing an Echuca Creative Arts Space Plan as a guide to activate the Echuca Arts Precinct and while this events strategy does not focus on any one type of event the Echuca Art Precinct Masterplan should be noted. The masterplan has provided a conceptualisation of the space that is positioned within the existing Port Precinct, utlising Council owned buildings, the Murray Hotel, the Foundry and The Old Brothel and surrounding open space. The plan has identified the activation, infrastructure and services required to meet the strategic objectives outlined in the Echuca Port Precinct Review and the outcomes from community consultation undertaken by Council in relation to this specific area.

The objectives of the project are:
- Creating a contemporary community arts space that responds to and respects the historical context
- To design a space the arts, business and general community can embrace and clearly identify as a key location for arts and culture in Echuca Moama
- Create a Masterplan that supports the continual development of cultural and artistic diversity that improves tourism, economic growth and social outcomes.
5.2 Echuca Moama & District Tourism Association (EMDTA)
EMDTA plays an important role in the event space, often being the first point of contact for event organisers, particularly events that are being organised by groups from outside the local area. The Visitor Information Centre (VIC) staff can assist with venue selection, accommodation requirements, attractions/tour bookings and event ticketing. Visitors access these services online (via the website), email, phone or face to face. Staff are assisted by a team of volunteer ambassadors who help with visitor servicing.
Events add to the product diversity to entice visitors to the region, therefore EMDTA often work closely with event organisers to help market their event and the destination. Depending on the event, this support can include an event listing on echucamoama.com and in the weekly ‘What’s On this Weekend’ flyer, through to inclusion in seasonal campaigns.
The introduction of the sale of local produce at the VIC, allows staff to specifically design hampers for events, such as the local picnic hampers that were available to patrons of Riverboats Music Festival.
It is important that the VIC staff and ambassadors are abreast of the various events happening around the municipality as they are dealing directly with the visiting public once they are in the region. The 2018 Echuca-Moama Winter Blues Festival was supported by a team of ambassadors roving High Street, helping to welcome attendees and field a variety of questions.

6. Event Funding
6.1 Visit Victoria & Destination NSW Funding
It is a requirement that any event applying for Visit Victoria and/or Destination NSW for funding must firstly have the support from the Regional Tourism Board, therefore Murray Regional Tourism Board, and the local Council.
Events that have recently received funding support from Visit Victoria and/or Destination NSW are:
- Riverboats Music Festival
- Echuca Moama Winter Blues Festival
- Southern 80 Ski Race

6.2 Murray River Council Funding
Murray River Council’s annual Community Grants program was introduced in 2018 and offers financial support to not-for-profit community organisations and groups for projects, equipment, events, exhibitions, or performances which contribute positively to the Murray River community. The community grants objectives are influenced by emerging community needs, and priorities and categories, objectives, and themes may change from year to year.
The Murray River Council Community Grants aim to:
Be responsive to emerging themes, issues, and trends
Support not-for-profit community groups to provide a range of opportunities for residents;
Provide equitable opportunity for the community to seek funding assistance from council;
Strengthen communities with local responses to identified community needs;
Facilitate support for initiatives that strengthen the community through opportunities for participation, development, inclusion, and sustainability;
Foster support across a range of pursuits and interest areas including health and welfare, education, arts and culture, sports and recreation, youth, ageing, environment and access and equity;
Assist council to deliver identified objectives, priorities and strategies and align with the Community Strategic Plan.
6.3 Campaspe Council Event Funding
6.3.1 Community Grants Program
Council offers financial support to not-for-profit community organisations, twice a year through the Community Grants Program, for projects, events, exhibitions and more, that aligns with Council's vision that ’we are strong, supportive, vibrant and sustainable.’
Community grants are available in two categories, Community Support and Events. See below for a breakdown of the Event categories
Issue Date May 2019 113 Page 18 Campaspe Shire Council Meeting Attachments 21 May 2019 Events Strategy- Background, Issues & Opportunities Paper
Community Up to $4,000 This category supports a range of activities such as the Support purchase of equipment or materials, programs supporting the development of the community, social inclusion, environmental projects and health & wellbeing projects.
Events Community (up to There are a number of events funded under the Community $1,000) Grants Program that clearly sit within the “Community / Social Event” classification. There should not be an expectation that these events will have an economic focus. It is important to recognise that community / social events are important to community wellbeing, participation and pride.
Minor (up to $3,000) These events include tourism, business and sporting with an economic benefit focus. These events include annual and “one off” or untested events that have potential to develop. These events also target niche markets and may include sporting events.
Major (up to $5,000) These events include tourism, business and sporting with an economic benefit focus. They include annual and “one off” or untested events that have potential to develop. These events also target niche markets and may include large sporting events.
Applications for community grants are assessed according to the category. Projects which focus on strengthening Campaspe’s communities are considered favourably. Other selection criteria are;
Economic benefit – Will the project increase retail, industry and accommodation, enhancement of economic base, or funds spent locally?
Project sustainability - If the project is ongoing, is it likely to generate its own funds for future years?
Community / social benefit - Does the project involve local community members? Does it bring visitors to Campaspe? Or does it enrich the shire?
Partnership - Contribution by group or others to the project either cash and / or in-kind, including project partnership participation (not just financial contribution).
In the 2017/2018 Council budget there was in excess of $87,000 allocated to the Event Categories within Community Grants.
6.3.2 Responsive Grants
Council provides the opportunity for individuals and community groups to apply for small grants to achieve goals and ambitions through the Responsive Grants Program. Community groups can apply for a grant to assist with the provision of a service, program or activity used by or of benefit to Campaspe residents. The maximum amount available is $1,000. Event organisers are encouraged to apply for funding support via the Community Grants program where possible. If an event misses the opportunity to apply through the Community Grant Program, responsive grants can be a useful alternative funding opportunity. In 2017/2018, 10 events applied through this program with $10,000 of the total budget being allocated to these events.
Issue Date May 2019 114 Page 19 Campaspe Shire Council Meeting Attachments 21 May 2019 Events Strategy- Background, Issues & Opportunities Paper
The following criteria is used to assess applications:
Does the proposed activity/event/project support the delivery of one or more of Council Plan strategic goals?
Does the proposed activity/event/project benefit Campaspe Shire residents?
Has the applicant demonstrated a clear need for funds?
Has the applicant demonstrated they are contributing to the activity/event/project, either in cash or in-kind?
If the applicant is a group, is it not-for-profit with a bank account in the name of the group.
If the applicant is a group, is there demonstrated need the funds are required at short notice, or can they wait for the Community Grants program, offered in two rounds each year?
Can the project be funded under any other council grant program?
6.3.3 Multi-Year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
Applications for multi-year agreements are received year round and provide confidence to event organisers of large scale events such as Riverboats Music Festival, Southern 80 and the Massive Murray Paddle. MOU’s are based on the same criteria as the Community Grants Program. An assessment is made by Council officers to evaluate the recommended support, both cash and in-kind, before a final decision is made by Council. The MOU outlines the responsibilities of Council and the event committee including items such as cash and in-kind support, acquittal requirements, marketing and branding obligations. The MOU’s offer event organisers confidence of a three to five year commitment from Council.
6.3.4 Place Based Plans
Council will develop Place Based Plans for townships across the shire to ensure community and Council priorities align. Rochester was the first town to develop a place based plan and Council are commencing work with the Stanhope community. The priorities developed within each plan will be reflective of the current circumstances and future needs particular to each community. In the case of Rochester, funds were allocated to seed fund projects identified in the plan. If an event is identified within a Council endorsed Place Based Plan there may be funding available through the Plan to seed fund the proposed event. The process to access funds is made via a written application to the plan’s governance committee, consisting of community members and Council officers. The application will be assessed against the place based plan priorities, and a recommendation will be made to Councils Executive Management Group for approval to release of the funds.

6.3.5 Event Classifications
Events are currently categorised into five classifications (see table below). Please note that regional and iconic events are considered for a multi-year funding agreement under the following conditions; two-year agreement for return on investment of 1:10 or better; or a three-year agreement for return on investment of 1:20 or better.
Since the introduction of the events matrix in 2012, anomalies have been identified when assessing events organised by organisations outside the municipality, new events and privately owned events. It has been identified that moving forward these classifications need to reviewed.

The Riverboats Music Festival, Massive Murray Paddle, Black Swan Race and the Pop & Pour Festival are all great examples of privately owned events.

Constant work in progress Prize promotions Lots of ideas, but most of them depend on council supporting the development of a car display area - think of the opportunities that a grassed area near the river, like the Rowing Club lawns in Mildura, could provide our towns. Maybe to include a wider range of the community and maybe move the event to a different town as to do this. More community participation concurrent with exhibitions Need to have a venue with better facilities for larger events for families. eg. power & toilets; Some ideas, but constrained by lack of volunteers. Trying to encourage local business to invest in the event with sponsorship. We really need to build on the existing art community which is partially happening with the Artistries activities. A sculpture walk or display of rusty relics inspired sculptures. etc Open studios is a possibility for artists and excéntrics to show their work... Will run 5-6 annual events we won’t grow beyond that.

OH&S Developing P&P How to deal with Council (and work more closely) Social Media Training Marketing within budget How to be sustainable without burn out Storage of event planning information (Community Houses??) Waste management & recycling information
Q25. General Feedback: (General overview of responses) Hope new event gains momentum with the wider community; Support from Campaspe Shire and officers is much appreciated; Council could offer free parking in Echuca over festival weekend (could be great drawcard); Love the results that the Shire survey returned; Experiences with Campaspe Shire have left us underwhelmed; Creating space for events, (eg Yarrawonga foreshore - lots of grass & water playpark); Fortunate to have people in council who are there to answer questions (no matter how silly); Thanks to the Campaspe for sponsoring event as we feel it brings the community together; Campaspe officers have established a lot of credibility with our organisation, delivering promptly on anything that is promised (eg providing information, clarifying regulations etc); We believe that the future for motoring & car enthusiast events in Echuca-Moama is huge. However, the benefits will need to be recognized by councils and some serious investments made in appropriate facilities. A decent- sized, flat, fenced grassed area near the river with amenities, water and power could attract hundreds of visitors a week over summer and thousands of visitors for major events.

Attachment 7.3
Kyabram Flood Study (KFS) Reference Panel Terms of Reference 1. Background Campaspe Shire Council with the assistance of the Goulburn Broken CMA was funded under the Natural Disaster Resilience Grants Scheme to conduct a flood study of Kyabram and its surrounds to determine the impacts of flooding, assess flood risk and determine mitigation strategies. Flood intelligence gathered from the study will also be used for emergency management planning, planning scheme review and community education. Duration of the study is expected to be 12 months. Current Kyabram flood information is based on the outdated 1994 study indicating 56 houses suffer over floor flooding in a 1%AEP event. Flooding has been documented in many parts of the town in 2011, 2012 and 2017 including that from short duration thunderstorm bursts experienced in the area in December 2017. There is a need to better understand the nature of flooding in this expanding town that is likely to exacerbate flooding risks in the future. Parts of Kyabram are landlocked and reliant on significant pump infrastructure to manage flood levels. Other parts have observed overland flooding eventually draining into the Mosquito Depression to the south and west of Kyabram. Attachment 1 represents the current understanding of the extent of flooding and is of low reliability. It varies significantly from the Planning Scheme mapping of lands subject to inundation This study is an overland flow type study (as compared to riverine) that will apply updated techniques from Australian Rainfall and Runoff (AAR16) including climate change over at least the area shown in Attachment 2. It will consider the interaction of this overland flow with flows in the Mosquito Depression. 2. Study Management Structure The project is auspiced by Campaspe Shire Council. The appointed Project Manager is responsible for managing the process and will report to the General Manager Infrastructure Services. Campaspe Shire Council is responsible for and is the ultimate decision making body associated with the Study. It will be engaging specialist flood plain management engineers to conduct the study. A Project Review Group will oversee and guide the study comprising: 1. Campaspe Shire Council’s General Manager Infrastructure Services; 2. State Emergency Service Manager North West Region, and 3. Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority Flood Plain Manager.
A Reference Panel will also be established by Campaspe Shire Council to inform and assist the project team as it proceeds to seek further flood related information, conduct modelling, produce mapping and investigate mitigation options. 3. Reference Panel The Reference Panel includes the two Ward councillors, one of whom shall chair the meetings.

Surplus (deficit) for the year 13,589 8,483 12,670 5,106 60 9,929
Note 1 - Increase in rate income raised is due to supplementary rates being brought into the system between the budget being set and the rates being raised for 2018/19 and additional supplementary rates being processed during the year.
Note 2 - The variance is due to the timing of receipt of the Grant income compared to when it was budgeted to be received. The exact timing is difficult to predict when setting the budget, it will balance out over the year.
Note 3 - The R2R funded works program has been completed ahead of schedule and the final claim processed and funds received, this was not expected to occur until May. Unbudgeted grant received to assist with implementation of the food organics waste stream, $40k. Additional funding received for Childcare services $38k, the favourable balance is due to timing of the receipts.
Note 4 - Continued dry weather is impacting on the sale of inventory at the Quarry, sales are below budget by $986k, this is not expected to improve in the current financial year. Childcare income in Echuca is less than budget by $109k due to under utilisation, this is being partially offset by an increase at Rochester of $42k. The negative impact on income of fees and charges has been offset by increase in many areas, some of these are Echuca Paddle Steamers $46k, Water sales $140k, Engineering supervision for subdivision $65k, sale of recycled materials $102k, improved collection of infringement income $139k.
Note 5 - Higher than anticipated interest rates and the availability of additional funds to invest due to the pre-payment of Grants Commission Funding for 2018/19 paid in 2017/18 have generated greater than budgeted interest income.

Campaspe Shire Council INCOME STATEMENT For the period ended 31 march 2019
Note 6 - Current savings in employee expenses relates to a number of staff vacancies across the organisation. Some of the savings will be used to cover the cost of using consultants or contractors to allow Council to deliver budgeted services.
Note 7 - The reduction in income at the Quarry has translated in to reduced cost of production with savings of $635k currently being recorded. Savings in plant and fleet operations of $238k, this is made up of fuel and maintenance. Due to the dry conditions some items of plant have not been utilised as expected resulting in these savings. The dry conditions have also impacted some areas of road maintenance with savings of $285 to date, this should not be a permeant saving if weather conditions allow maintenance to occur later in the year.
Note 8 - Additional road assets now recognised by Council as the result of sub-division completion and an increased valuation base due to revaluations performed in the 2017/18 year will impact on the depreciation expense for the remainder of the year.
Note 9 - The write off, of the remaining written down value of assets during the capitalisation process of renewed assets is offsetting the income on the sale of industrial land and plant sales. Income received on these sales is $413k.

Campaspe Shire Council BALANCE SHEET As at 31 march 2019
Note 1 - Additional cash is being held in Council's on call account for cashflow purposes, a number of large payments need to be allowed for at the end of the quarter, one of these is the payment of the Fire Service Levy to the State Revenue Office. In addition to this it has been difficult to find good investment rates with institutions that fit within our investment policy requirements. As good opportunities arise additional investments will be made allowing for cashflow requirements.
Note 2 - Rates collection is less than budgeted and there have been a number of large grant invoices raised at the end of the quarter which are impacting the balance in receivables.
Note 3 - Additional cash being held to fund carried forward capital works from 2017/18 and current year capital budget. Until required these funds have been invested to maximise interest income. Note 4 - Council is holding a number of properties identified as no longer required, these properties were reclassified at year end (2017/18) as per accounting standards and are expected to be sold during 2018/19.
Note 5 - The variance is due to investment properties being revalued in the 2017/18 year, this change was not considered when the budget was set.
Note 6 - Additional cash being held to fund carried forward capital works from 2017/18 and current year capital budget. Until required these funds have been invested to maximise interest income.

Note 1 - Quarry rock sales are below budget by $600k. The variance compared to 2017/18 is due to there being $2.0 million more in trade receivables in 2018/19 than for the same period in 2017/18. This variance is due to the timing of raising the invoices and receiving the payment.
Note 2 - Pre payment of the General Purpose Financial Assistance Grants was not considered when setting the cash flow budget. 50% of funding was received in 2017/18. Note 3 - It is difficulty to predict the timing of the cash inflows and outflows of compliance bonds required for certain works but maintained the similar level as the one in the same period last year. Note 4 - Employee costs are below budget due to a number of vacancies across the organisation.
Note 5 - Variance is a result of the timing of the receipt and payment of invoices compared to budget estimates and the reduction in expenses at the Quarry and road maintenance works being on hold due to the dry weather conditions.
Note 6 - Less funds have been required to meet daily cash needs than what was foreseen at budget time, excess has been invested. This is in line with the reduced spend on payments to suppliers as per Note 5 above. Note 7 - Actual opening cash is greater than budgeted due to the pre payment of Grants Commission funding and funds not yet expended on capital works.

Allan Street / Dawes Road / Saunders Street Intersection, Kyabram Page 1 Intersection Risk Assessment, June 2017
1. INTRODUCTION
This report results from an assessment of the safety of the cross road intersection of Allan Street with Dawes Road – Saunders Street in Kyabram. The assessment has been undertaken for the Shire of Campaspe.
The assessment has been carried out by:
Robert Morgan, BEng, MEngSc Traffic Engineering and Road Safety Consultant
Mr Morgan is a VicRoads-accredited Senior Road Safety Auditor. A brief CV is attached to this report.
The assessment has included a site inspection during the afternoon of Tuesday 30th May 2017, a review of the material provided and an analysis of survey information. The site visit was timed to include the period around 3 pm as this is known to be one of the busier times for traffic movement. During the site investigation, the intersection was discussed with Ms Robin Muller, Design Technical Officer with the Shire of Campaspe.
2. DESCRIPTION OF THE LOCATION
Allan Street used to be the main east-west street through Kyabram. The main commercial area of Kyabram is centred on Allan Street. This commercial area starts some 400 m east of the subject intersection and extends for almost 500 m east from there. Some time ago the main road route and truck route through Kyabram (now the C351) was deviated so it runs along McCormick Road – Edis Street, further to the north.
Allan Street through the commercial area has been upgraded with streetscape treatments and there is a roundabout at its central point (Union Street) as well as a Church Street, which acts as a ‘threshold treatment’ at the western entry into the commercial area.
The section of Allan Street through the subject intersection thus provides a local access route to and from the commercial area. It has a signed speed limit of 60 km/h, consistent with its traffic function.
The road reservation width of Allan Street is approximately 20 m (the old ‘one chain’) and the 12.5 m wide road pavement is marked with one 3.0 m wide traffic lane in each direction, plus room for parked vehicles and cyclists.
Dawes Road (north of the intersection) and Saunders Street (south of the intersection) also have a 20 m wide road reservation. Their road pavement is 13 m wide. The default urban speed limit of 50 km/h applies to these streets.
The intersection is shown in the aerial photograph in Figure 1. The views on each approach are shown in Figures 2 to 5. It is controlled by Stop signs facing Dawes Road and Saunders Street and there is a central island in each of these two streets to assist pedestrians and to also help define the intersection and where drivers need to give way. A short distance east and west of the intersection, kerb outstands have been installed on Allan Street to assist pedestrians by giving them a shorter crossing distance and to keep parked cars away from where pedestrians need to cross.
The area around the intersection is generally residential, except that on the south east corner there is the Kyabram Club.

3. TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
The traffic volumes on roads approaching the intersection have been recently counted using an automatic tube counter. The average two way, 24 hour volumes (vehicles per day or ‘vpd’) are:
Allan Street, west of Saunders Street: 3,888 vpd Allan Street, east of Saunders Street: 4,874 vpd Dawes Road, north of Allan Street: 860 vpd Saunders Street, south of Allan Street: 1,522 vpd
The percentages of vehicles that are commercial vehicles are, in the above order of locations, 6.5%, 5.4%, 2.8% and 10.1%. These are all low compared with typical urban percentages. The higher proportion in Saunders Street is likely to be associated with deliveries at the Kyabram Club and other nearby commercial premises.
The speed of traffic was measured as part of the recent traffic counts. The 85th percentile speeds (i.e. the speeds at or below which 85% of vehicles were travelling) are as follows:
Allan Street, west of Saunders Street: 61 km/h Allan Street, east of Saunders Street: 58 km/h Dawes Road, north of Allan Street: less than 50 km/h Saunders Street, south of Allan Street: less than 40 km/h
The speeds on Allan Street are consistent with the 60 km/h speed limit. The speeds on Dawes Road are consistent with its 50 km/h speed limit. The speeds on Saunders Street are lower due to the short section of road between the Stop signs at Allan Street and the roundabout at Fenaughty Street.
For the most recently available 5 year period available (1st January 2012 to 31st December 2016)1 there was been only reported casualty collision. The details are as follows:
Time / Day / Date: 3.00 pm on Tuesday 14th July 2015 Conditions: Dry and daylight Crash type: Right angle (both vehicles proceeding straight ahead) Details: Vehicle 1 approaching from the south, 18 year old female driver (injured). Vehicle 2 approaching from the east, 22 year old male driver. Injuries: One ‘Other’ injury (i.e. not ‘Serious Injury’) – not hospitalised.
4. SITE INSPECTION
The site inspection took place during the middle of the afternoon on Tuesday 30th May 2017. It is worth noting that the inspection included being at the site at the same time as the crash described in Section 3 above: 3 pm on a Tuesday.
Observations during the inspection are:
When a light van was parked (quite legally) on the south side of Allan Street, just east of the intersection, it partly obstructed the view for a driver who was at the stop line in Saunders Street. The van was parked just east of the pedestrian kerb outstands. For the driver in Saunders Street, there was a view behind the van, and moving out into the intersection a little – but not into the through traffic lane in Allan Street – improved the line of sight. Nonetheless a vehicle parked in this position does obscure the line of sight and it would seriously obstruct the view for any
1 The period over which crashes are usually considered is three or five years.

pedestrian who was crossing from south to north at the kerb outstands. It would be worthwhile for safety to ban parking for at least a further 8 m from the intersection (see Section 7 below).
As the inspection included the after-school period, there were some pedestrians who crossed each of the legs of the intersection. None had any problem with safely crossing the road. One group of several primary school-age children with an adult had no problem crossing Allan Street via the kerb outstands on the west side and no concerns about safety were offered.
It was noted that the type of control on the north and south legs is Stop signs, rather than Give Way signs, even though it is quite evident that the sight distance is not so restricted that the Stop sign warrants are met. In the areas around this intersection there appeared to be inconsistent application of the Stop sign / Give Way sign warrants. Converting the control to Give Way is unlikely to have any adverse safety consequences. It is this author’s experience that the correct application of the warrants may actually lead to more drivers stopping at the Give Way signs, than currently stop at the Stop signs.
Apparently due to a standard detail adopted by the previous Shire, the pram ramps lead out into the middle of the intersection, rather than directing pedestrians straight across, and at least one side entry drainage pit is located where it would obstruct efforts to realign the pram ramps to something more practical. The central island in Saunders Street also partly obstructs the straight pedestrian route across that street. These are minor matters.
5. RISKS
Potential types of risks of collisions at cross intersections can be categorised as:
Vehicles From Different Streets Colliding With Each Other
Factors influencing this are:
Intersection controls: the intersection has Stop signs that are clearly visible Simplicity / complexity: the intersection is simple with no hidden alignment tricks Visibility: except as discussed regarding a parked vehicle obscuring sight lines, the intersection has adequate lines of sight. Speed of traffic: subject to the previous point, the lines of sight are adequate for the travel speeds along Allan Street Width of street to cross: Allan Street is only one traffic lane each way. There is no risk associated with a vehicle taking a long time to cross the road. Volume of traffic on the major road (finding a gap): Taking 15% of the daily volume as the peak volume (though it is likely to be nearer to 10%), with the existing volumes on Allan Street, the volumes of traffic entering or crossing from Dawes Road and Saunders Street would be less than one third of capacity of the intersection to absorb them and delays to vehicles entering / crossing from these side streets would be about 4 or 5 seconds on average. In other words there is no risk of poor gap selection due to traffic volumes.
Thus the only likely risk of any significance is with a parked vehicle obscuring the line of sight - to the right, which is the first major road approach that is encountered. As discussed in Section 3, that risk is limited.
181 Campaspe Shire Council Meeting Attachments 21 May 2019
Allan Street / Dawes Road / Saunders Street Intersection, Kyabram Page 7 Intersection Risk Assessment, June 2017
Vehicles From Opposing Directions Colliding With Each Other (When One is Turning)
Factors influencing this are:
Intersection controls: These are identical on opposite approaches Simplicity / complexity: the roads are straight Visibility: visibility between opposing vehicles is excellent. Speed of traffic: the lines of sight are excellent for the travel speeds Volume of traffic (finding a gap): The gaps in traffic in the peak period are extensive and the number of turning drivers is less than 5% of the turning volume that could be accommodated. In other words there is no risk of poor gap selection due to traffic volumes.
There is no risk of any significance with turning vehicles and opposing vehicles.
Pedestrians Being Hit By a Vehicle
Factors influencing this are:
Simplicity / complexity: the intersection is simple with no hidden tricks Visibility: except as discussed regarding a parked vehicle obscuring sight lines, the intersection has adequate lines of sight for pedestrians. Speed of traffic: there is adequate visibility for the speed of traffic. Width of street to cross: There is a central island in Dawes Road and in Saunders Street, so pedestrian need only worry about traffic in one direction at a time and all traffic is in single file. On Allan Street there are kerb outstands which limit the crossing distance to about 9 m. For a slow pedestrian (at 1.25 m/sec) the crossing time would be about 7 seconds. In this time a vehicle at 60 km/h travels about 120 m. The sight distance greatly exceeds this amount. Volume of traffic: From both observation and calculation, there are frequent gaps in the traffic that allow pedestrians to cross each leg of the intersection.
Thus the risk to pedestrians is very low.
I am also advised that a search of Council records has revealed no communication from the public alerting Council to any safety problems (i.e. situations creating a risk) for either vehicle users or pedestrians at this intersection.
In summary, while acknowledging that there has been one recorded casualty crash, the risk of collisions at this intersection must be regarded as extremely low.

6. EVALUATION
I am advised that a request has been made for a roundabout to be installed at this crossroad.
A roundabout, were it to be similar in design to the nearby existing one at Fenaughty Street / Saunders Street would cost in the order of $440,000 to build2.
Figure 6 Fenaughty Street / Saunders Street Roundabout
Quite clearly, there would need to be a justification for spending that amount of money – there would need to be a purpose for the roundabout; it would need to achieve some kind of benefit to people in the area, or users of the intersection, that the current arrangement does not provide.
As a further step, before spending the money on the roundabout, Council – as a matter of good governance and financial accountability – would need to be assured that:
there was not some other more cost effective way of achieving the benefit at this location, and this was the most beneficial way to spend that money (i.e. amongst competing projects within a limited Council budget, this provided the best value for the use of that money)
This reinforces the point that the roundabout would need to be installed for a purpose. To put it another way, what is the problem for which a roundabout is the solution? This has not been stated.
In urban areas, roundabouts are installed for the following purposes:
Improving Safety
Roundabouts are known to be an effective countermeasure for right angle collisions and other collisions involving vehicles approaching from adjacent streets. There has been one such crash here in the past five years (see Section 3 above). It should be noted that when trying to reduce the number of crashes there are no ‘general’ solutions: each solution must be known to be effective in solving the particular type(s) of crash occurring at the particular site.
2 As per a preliminary estimate provided by Council officers.
183 Campaspe Shire Council Meeting Attachments 21 May 2019
Allan Street / Dawes Road / Saunders Street Intersection, Kyabram Page 9 Intersection Risk Assessment, June 2017
So far as I can establish, there are no other road safety risks at this intersection that a roundabout would address.
To justify the expenditure on a roundabout (or any other crash reduction treatment), a benefit cost analysis is conducted. Projects which have a benefit / cost ratio of 1.0 or more are ones where the benefits (reduction in crash costs) meet or exceed the project cost. I.e. the community gets a benefit for spending the money that way.
The project costs are incurred in the first year (i.e. when it’s built), but the benefits continue over several years. For road safety projects it is established practice to say that the benefits need to be achieved over a short period (say five years and definitely no more than ten), rather than over the whole life of the project (e.g. 30 – 40 years) because it is a use of a scarce resource and returns (benefits) should be obvious and happening at an early stage.
Using current values, the average cost to the community of one ‘Other injury’ crash in Victoria is around $19,000. If we take the most generous approach and spread the benefit of the crash reduction over ten years (rather than five), the assessment is as follows:
Cost of crashes / year = $19,000 / 5 (5 years’ data showed one crash) = $3,800 / year. That benefit multiplied by 10 years, using the state Treasury discount rate of 7%, means the present value of ten years’ benefits is $3,800 x 7.024 (not 10) = $26,700 (approx.). However, from studies it has been established that roundabouts are only 70% effective in reducing these types of crashes. If this factor is applied, the benefit reduces to a total of $18,700 (approx.).
Because there has been only one crash and it has involved only relatively minor injuries, the benefits to the community in preventing that happening again are low ($18,700).
The net present value of the cost of the roundabout is $440,000 The net present value of the crash reduction benefits of the roundabout is $18,700 Thus a roundabout project at this intersection would have a benefit / cost ratio of 18,700 / 440,000, which equals 0.0425. This is much less than 1.0 (In fact it’s only one twenty-third of one). On this basis a roundabout could not be justified as a crash reduction treatment; the money would be better spent elsewhere on a project whose benefits exceed its construction cost.
Consider for a moment how this might be assessed if, unknown to us, there had been another five vehicle collisions, but they were only ‘property damage’ (or ‘PDO’) and so didn’t get into the recorded data3.
In Victoria the cost of a PDO crash is about 68% of an ‘Other’ injury crash. If we add the value of five PDO crashes to the one known injury crash, the net present value of the crash reduction benefits becomes $18,700 + $63,600 = $82,300 (approx.). This is still far less than the cost of a roundabout and so construction of a roundabout could still not be justified if this was happening.
Threshold Treatment
Roundabouts can be used effectively as ‘threshold’ or ‘gateway’ treatments, to slow down drivers and alert them to changed conditions as they enter an area like a town centre where there will be more pedestrians and more general interaction. The roundabout at Allan Street / Church Street, for example, provides that treatment as drivers enter Kyabram’s town centre. Similarly, the roundabouts on Fenaughty Street at Saunders Street and Lake Road provide threshold treatments
3 Note: I am not suggesting that this has actually happened; this is an exercise in ‘sensitivity testing’ to see if it changes the outcome. As mentioned in Section 5, Council has received no complaints about safety problems.
184 Campaspe Shire Council Meeting Attachments 21 May 2019
Allan Street / Dawes Road / Saunders Street Intersection, Kyabram Page 10 Intersection Risk Assessment, June 2017
for drivers entering the medical precinct.
The intersection at Allan Street / Dawes Road / Saunders Street is not a ‘threshold’ or ‘gateway’ location, because the abutting properties are similar in function both to the east and west. A roundabout for this purpose would not be warranted.
General Speed Reduction
Roundabouts can be used to limit speeds along a street, as the are designed to slow traffic down on each approach.
At this location, there would be no need for speed reduction on Dawes Road and Saunders Street, as they already have control signs (Stop). Thus the discussion here is about Allan Street.
The speeds along Allan Street (see Section 3 above) are consistent with the speed limit and I am advised that there have been no concerns expressed about the speed of traffic along this street. Therefore the installation of a roundabout for this purpose cannot be justified.
However, let us again consider a hypothetical case, this time in which there was concern about speeds along Allan Street. Would a roundabout here be the most effective way to address such a concern? A roundabout here would only reduce speeds over a limited length of the street, say 100 – 150 m in each direction. The rest of the street would receive no benefit..
A $440,000 roundabout would also be a very expensive treatment, as well as being not effective over the whole length of the street. If speed was considered a problem, treatment of the whole length of the street would need to be considered between Church Street and McEwen Road. The first and simplest option would be to remove the 60 km/h signs and let the default urban limit of 50 km/h apply (very low cost of implementation). If this did not result in an appropriate speed reduction, some kind of physical treatment along the street would be the next thing to consider. Treatments like speed cushions or road humps would cost considerably less than one roundabout (possibly one quarter the cost, or less). It should be noted that these types of treatments can have adverse effects such as noise and so any treatment for speed control would need to be a matter for community consultation and discussion. The point to be made here is that, for the purpose of speed reduction along a street, a roundabout at one location would probably be the most expensive and least effective option.
Thus I conclude that a roundabout would not be an appropriate treatment for this purpose.
Potential Negative Impacts of a Roundabout
At roundabouts, pedestrians are required to give way to vehicles (unless there is a pedestrian crossing). Thus pedestrians would not benefit from a roundabout. If better access for pedestrians was desired, the kerb outstands could be replaced by central refuge islands. These would provide a more effective treatment for pedestrians, especially older ones who often have problems with turning vehicles at roundabouts.
A roundabout may cause problems for any coach that needs to access the nearby sports ground via a right turn. Alternatively, if the roundabout is designed to make it easy for right-turning coaches, it may not have a prominent enough central island to safely slow down through vehicles.
These matters should be considered as part of any plan for a roundabout.

7. CONCLUSIONS
The intersection of Allan Street with Dawes Road – Saunders Street has very low levels of risk for the people who travel through it.
The identified issues which require attention are:
To improve visibility from the side roads, parking should be banned for at least 8 m (say up to 10 m) beyond the existing kerb outstands. This is required only on two corners:
On the south side of Allan Street, east of Saunders Street, and On the north side of Allan Street, west of Dawes Road.
The intersection controls should be reviewed, with a view to applying the current Stop / Give Way sign warrants. This will result in the Stop signs being replaced by Give Way signs. It is unlikely to affect driver behaviour, although it is possible that a few more drivers may actually stop. Given the compact size of Kyabram, there would be benefit in reviewing all the locations with Stop signs to see if they meet the current warrants. Applying the current warrants across the whole town would provide drivers with consistency, which is likely to lead to better compliance.
There is no justification for the installation of a roundabout at the intersection, either as:
a crash reduction treatment (even if there are some unrecorded non-injury crashes happening), a threshold treatment, as the location is not a gateway, or a general speed reduction treatment for Allan Street (were this to be identified as an issue) as its cost would be high and its benefits would be limited to a fairly short section of the street, compared with other speed-control options.

Joel Kay Australia 2019-03-29 Joel, Kellie and Jasmyne Kay FamilyUse this intersection daily, traffic volume is crazy, speed reduction needed, view is obscured by plants and pencil stick bollards, school children walking, on bikes and or on scooters and dont forget the elderly citizens.

beverley hunt kyabram, 2019-03-29 As a resident of this street, every day I use this intersection, Australia with cars parked close to corner and an SEC pole obstructiong vision you have to be a fair way out on Allan street to cross or turn. A roundabout would make it safer for pedestrians and drivers.

Megan Kelsey Australia 2019-03-29 So many accidents at this intersection and now a child was nearly killed.
Marilyn Ross Australia 2019-03-29 One child knocked down is one child too many. If roundabout will help, then build it.
Kelly costello Australia 2019-03-29 I use this intersection daily, and have to avoid it certain days/times as visibility can be quite poor, especially coming along Saunders St. Dangerous for both vehicles & pedestrians including motorised scooters. Currently the stop sign on the Saunders St side has been changed to a Give Way sign....???? Myself & my learner driver make a point of stopping & at times even have to inch into the intersection to check for oncoming traffic. A roundabout would improve visibility and regulate speed whilst maintaining traffic flow and providing safer access for pedestrians to cross.

Lucy Moran Australia 2019-03-29 We had on numerous times had a near miss accident at this dangerous intersection. Some drivers don't slow down when they see a pedestrian crossing over to the Ky Club. We even witnessed an elderly on motorised scooter unable to cross and had a near miss accident when the elderly person tried to cross. So please Mr/Mdm Authority do something about this before more school children and the elderly are killed by drivers who ignore to slow down for others trying to cross the street.

Melissa Aitken Kyabram, 2019-03-29 After being at the scene of the accident that occurred Australia yesterday, I witnessed another near miss just today! A twin cab truck pulled out in front of a 4wd and in his haste almost hit me as well. I noticed there was also a pedestrian, an elderly man on a scooter, who was right on the club corner waiting to cross. This could have been a very different outcome if the 4wd hadnt braked hard! Something needs to be changed as soon as possible to stop this happening. They have a round about on the next street over so why not here too???
Donna Waters Kyabram, 2019-03-29 It is well needed Australia

Many times I nearly got into an accident at this intersection, IT'S NOT SAFE!!! DO SOMETHING BEFORE ANOTHER INOCENT CHILD, ELDERLY, PEDESTRIANS AND DRIVERS GET HURT AGAIN.
vicki Rowland Australia 2019-03-30 Kids should be able to go to school and home safely
Melissa Aitken Calen, 2019-03-30 There has needed to be a roundabout here for years. As Queensland, time goes by there will only be more children going to Australia school and needing to cross. Also i think 50kms speed limits need to be applied. I live right near this intersection and have seen many accidents and near misses over the years. Lindsay Aitken
Linx Dewes Altona, Australia 2019-03-30 Yeah the boys

Maria Radanov Australia 2019-03-31 I am signing because Council needs to be told loud and clear - again - that the people who live and work here, who use this intersection frequently, KNOW the intersection needs attention. What was done a few years ago is not adequate. The cost of a roundabout does not compare with the cost of a life.

Recipient: Shire of Campaspe
Letter: Greetings,
For too many years, this intersection has been a dangerous one and poses a risk to the public every single day. On Thursday 28th of March, a 13 year old boy was struck by a vehicle and left in a serious condition, needing to be airlifted for urgent medical care. We petition for a roundabout at the above mentioned intersection in Kyabram for the safety of our community.

The Chief Executive Officer CAA •IIL Campaspe Shire Council RequeNt P0 Box 35 Echuca VIC 3564
Dear Sir/Madam, J Doc Set ID We the undersigned, hereby respectfully request the Campaspe Shire Council:
Address our serious safety concerns about the proposed design of the centre car park at the North end of High St, Rushworth known as Max's Maze.

We believe that the likelihood of serious injury or fatality is high if all High St traffic is forced to enter the busy traffic flow in Moora Road to make this turn. We ask that the planned re-development of this area be re-assessed to address and mitigate our safety concerns.
Please direct all correspondence regarding this request to the Chief Petitioner identified.
